3.2. Drama Technique

Prepare to give a group presentation of the samples to your choice. Try not to forget this performance should be as expressive and imagery as any play acted out. The rhetoric strategy of this kind of interaction conditions the phonetic as well as body language (non-verbal) specificity (eye contact, miming, posture, movements and gestures) along with the direction. Use the assessment form to evaluate the performance.
